As it is, the walk from gate 110 to the immigration will want most passengers to sit down first rather than get into fast track. I use easyJet from LGW regularly and actually end up paying for fast track if my arrival is just after an EK flight.
EK11 is usually (but not always) 2 class, EK 15 and 9 are 3 class (there might be the odd substitution), so I’m not sure what your reference to ‘F only one...’ is based on. Also the EK gate is now 558, which is a very short walk to immigration. According to the lounge agent on Tuesday, they are working on direct boarding from the lounge, which will be nice. At the moment it’s still a long detour through the general departure lounge (although no longer over the ‘bridge’)
